When using your phone, you will need to enter text at
many times; for example, when storing a name in the
Phonebook, creating a text message or scheduling
events in your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric
characters into your phone by using your phone’s
keypad.

Your phone has the following text input modes:

• T9(English) : This mode allows you to enter words
with only one keypress per letter. Each key on a
keypad has more than one letter - when you press

once, J,K or L displays. The T9 mode
automatically compares your key presses to an
internal linguistic database to determine the correct
word thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional multi-tap method, ABC mode.

• Alphabet : This mode allows you to enter letters by
pressing the key labeled with the desired letter once,
twice, or three times until the letter displays.

• Symbol: This mode allows you to enter various

symbols and special characters.

• Number: This mode allows you to enter numbers.

Health and Safety

Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on the safety standards that were developed
by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and through evaluation of scientific studies.

The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a
unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.

*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output of the
phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC
for each model. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
printed in the label on the phone.

FCC certification information for this model phone is
attached separation paper.

Precautions When Using Batteries

• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in

any way.

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network’s base station,

it uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly
affected by the signal strength on the cellular
network and the parameters set by the network
operator.

• Battery charging time depends on the remaining

battery charge and the type of battery and charger
used. The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time, including talk time and
standby time, is noticeably shorter than normal, it is
time to buy a new battery.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge

itself over time.

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge

your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers.
When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the
power source. Do not leave the battery connected to
a charger for more than a week, since overcharging
may shorten its life.

For Body Operation

For body worn operation, this model phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with a Samsung-supplied or approved accessory
designated for this product or when used with and
accessory that contains no metal and that positions the
handset a minimum from the body.
The minimum distance for this model phone is written in
the FCC certification information from the body.
None compliance with the above conditions may violate
FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But
an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.

When driving a car,driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a
car,make sure that you are following the special
regulations in a given area or country.

Operating Environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in
any area and always switch off your phone whenever it
is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference
or danger.

When connecting the phone or any accessory to another
device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety
instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used
in the normal operating position (held to your ear with
the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging
capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or
warming first.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as
in a car in summer or winter conditions, as you will
reduce the capacity and life-time of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not
work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion
batteries are particularly affected by temperatures
below 0 °C (32 °F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short
circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip
or pen) causes a direct connection between the +
and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on the
battery), for example when you carry a spare battery
in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the object causing the short­circuit.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information. Switch off your phone in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Switch off your phone in any facility where posted
notices require you to do so.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment are shielded from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent
research and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6
inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is
switched on;

• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimise potential interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch off your phone immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using
radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as
user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never
rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for example).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must
be switched on and in a service area with adequate
signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on
all wireless phone networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check with
local service providers.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2. Key in the emergency number for your present
location. Emergency numbers vary by location.

3. Press the key.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all
the necessary information as accurately as possible.
Remember that your phone may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident; do not cut
off the call until given permission to do so.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a
refuelling point (service station). Users are reminded of
the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are
in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often
but not always clearly marked. They include below deck
on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty
obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many
years.

• Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out

of the reach of small children.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and

liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic
circuits.

• Do not touch the phone with a wet hand. Doing so

may cause an electric shock to you or damage to the
phone.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as

its moving parts may be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain
plastics.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the

phone warms up to its normal operating temperature,
moisture can form inside the phone, which may
damage the phone’s electronic circuit boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough

handling can break internal circuit boards.

Other Important Safety Information

• Only qualified personnel should service the phone or
install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty applicable to the device.

• Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts or accessories.

• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that
an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including both installed or portable wireless
equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.

• Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft.
The use of wireless phones in aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, and is
illegal.

• Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the
suspension or denial of telephone services to the
offender, or legal action, or both.

Glossary

Airtime - Actual time spent talking on the wireless
phone. Most carriers bill customers based on how many
minutes of airtime they use each month.

Antenna - A device for transmitting or receiving
signals. The size and shape of antennas is determined,
in part, by the frequency of the signal they receive.
Wireless phones and the base station must have
antennas.

Base Station - The fixed radio transmitter/receiver that
maintains communications with mobile radio telephones
within a given area. (Typically called a cell or cell site)

CDMA - (Code Division Multiple Access) A spread­spectrum approach to digital transmission. With CDMA,
each conversation is digitized and then tagged with a
code. The mobile phone deciphers only a particular code
to pick the right conversation off the air. The transmitted
signal is just above noise level across the available
bandwidth.

Channel - Communications signals transmit along
paths called channels.

Codec - Compression & Decompression.

Deactivation - The process of rendering a wireless

phone inactive.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or

strong detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it with a
soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and­water solution.

• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device’s

moving parts and prevent proper operation.

• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such

as a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The
phone may explode when overheated.

• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement

antenna. Unauthorized antennas or modified
accessories may damage the phone and violate
regulations governing radio devices.

• If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not

working properly, take it to your nearest qualified
service facility. The personnel there will assist you,
and if necessary, arrange for service.

bits sent per second) than existing CDMA vocoders,
while providing significant improvements in voice
quality. This technology enables your phone to provide
superb voice quality while benefiting from the ability to
process more cellular voice calls using less bandwidth
than the voice codecs in CDMA networks today.

Frequency - A measure based on time, as one or more
waves per second, in an electrical or light wave
